Defining Additional Video Sources
Besides automatically detecting MOBOTIX cameras, you can also manually add
other video sources to the list of available video sources in MxControlCenter.
• Automatic search: Scans the (physical) network.
This scan will find all MOBOTIX cameras, regard-
less of whether they are in the same subnet as the
computer or in a different one.
• Add camera manually: Enter a known IP address
or the DNS name of a MOBOTIX camera if this
camera had not been detected during the auto-
matic search in the first place.
• Add MxPEG clip: Adds an MxPEG video clip previously recorded by a
MOBOTIX camera as a video source.
• Add file server path: Adds the alarm images previously stored by a
MOBOTIX camera on an external file server as a video source.
Selecting Video Sources
Highlight the desired video sources you would like to manage and display in
MxControlCenter.
Camera Preview
If you select a camera with a status of OK ,
MxControlCenter automatically displays the live
image of that camera in the preview window.
If you are using [Ctrl]-click to select more than
one camera, the image from the camera
selected last is shown in the preview window.
This feature facilitates identifying the cameras
you would like to use.
